Problem Title:
Foundation F1.5: "Cannot copy Xilinx project with different name" when copying Foundation project



Problem Description:
Date: 9/98

Urgency: standard

General Description:

When copying a project in the Foundation Project Manager,
you may see the following warning:

Pcm: Cannot copy Xilinx project with different name


Solution 1:

When copying a project in Foundation, you must copy it to the
same name as the original in order for the design
implementation versions and revisions contained within the
Xilinx project (XPROJ) to be copied as well. The new copy
of the project will be in another directory location than the
first, but the name must remain the same in order for the
Xilinx project to be copied.

The Xilinx project, contained within the Foundation project,
contains the implementation versions and revisions. If you do
not care to copy the Xilinx project information to the new
project, then you may ignore this warning. In this case, your
design implementation versions from the original project will
not be present in the new project.
